New Hope Academy Charter School Students Speak Up
New Hope Academy Charter School students made an open letter video to voice their concerns to the York City School Board members. These Pennsylvania students were prohibited from speaking at the March 19th meeting. Board members barred students and other school supporters as well, claiming they were solely accountable to “taxpayers”. The Board voted not to renew New Hope Academy’s charter, despite the school’s repeated successes and high achievement. Fighting to keep the doors of New Hope Academy open, students ensured their voices would be heard through this open letter.
